Live: Watch Obama's Debt Ceiling Press Conference

Today, President Obama will be holding a press conference from the East Room of the White House as the debt-ceiling debate reaches a fever-pitch in Washington D.C. We'll be updating on The Atlantic Wire as the conference gets into full-swing, but for now PBS News Hour has a good round-up of the key questions heading into the briefing (live video is below):

Will he agree to a deal to raise the debt ceiling that does not include tax increases?

Will he consider ending tax breaks and closing tax loopholes as alternative revenue sources in lieu of tax increases on wealthy Americans?
